For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 10, 2022

April doesn’t need special education. She needs to forget what she learned from her older brother and sister…

After being raised so far by Farley, what do you expect from her?

That’s what come of being the much younger sibling. My youngest sister was born when I was 14. My brother, sister, and I taught her all kinds of “inappropriate” things. lol

Actually, in panel three, it’s that teacher (or whoever she is) making the face. That creepy look is a recurring feature in this strip.

Well, teacher—you asked for it!!

You told her to “make a face” and she did. Youngsters often take things literally.

She’s ahead of the class… She already know how to make a face.

cute

So cute! I think April is going to grow up to be the life of the party comedienne.

Nothing is wrong with April. She only did as she was asked.

Well….. You got what you asked for, didn’t you?

Just wait ’til they get to counting. Numbers 1 and 2 can be confusing.

she just thinks outside of the box. That males her the leader.

April was born on April 1, 1991 (since the strip originally ran for 29 years, that puts us at 2020). Today, it’s September 10, 1993 (which correlates to 2022). According to linear time, that makes her 29 months old… just shy of 2.5 years old. Now…. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that way too young to be in school… Even pre-school? I thought that kids went to preschool beginning at age 4?

April is up for Class President….

She must remember Michael…

Hey, she made a face. Just what the lady asked her to do!

April has quite a bit of the genes that Mike has …

Good news: April has learned all the lines to “God Save the Queen”.

Bad news:

Really? She does something kind of silly after getting a set up line served up to her on a silver platter, and that’s setting off all kinds of alarm bells?

April has made the right move. Drawing can wait.
